Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 3.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged dynamic evaluation is part of a plugin runner that executes a supplied plugin inside an isolated, time-limited context. The inspected manifest and CLI show ordinary package and command startup, and the credential flow examined is for the matching provider connector. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T07:19:27.261Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T07:20:12.052Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 5796 ms - **AI review time:** 38474 ms - **Total time:** 44791 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified; the reviewed network and dynamic-code behavior serves the RAG connectors and plugin isolation features. - **Trigger:** Provider requests occur when connector functionality is used; plugin evaluation occurs when the plugin runner is explicitly used. - **Impact:** No malicious or unauthorized impact was identified in the reviewed paths. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T07:20:12.052Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Provider API keys are used by their corresponding connectors. Supplied plugin functions are evaluated in the isolated runner with a timeout. - **Rationale:** The flagged dynamic evaluation is part of a plugin runner that executes a supplied plugin inside an isolated, time-limited context. The inspected manifest and CLI show ordinary package and command startup, and the credential flow examined is for the matching provider connector. - **Network endpoints:** api.anthropic.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exports a library bundle and a separate CLI entry point., The listed prepare script installs Husky; prepublishOnly runs lint, tests, documentation validation, and ESM verification., The CLI entry point parses command-line arguments and runs the selected command., The bundle’s dynamic evaluation reconstructs a supplied plugin function and executes it with timeout protection in its isolated plugin runner., The Anthropic connector reads ANTHROPIC\_API\_KEY for its provider connector; its configured default API host is api.anthropic.com. - **Evidence against:** The bundle contains dynamic evaluation, but the inspected code uses it to run supplied plugin code in an isolated, time-limited context., No install-time data collection or unrelated outbound collector was identified in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@3.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@3.0.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
